iShares S&P Global Consumer Discretionary Sector Index Fund is an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the S&P Global 1200 Consumer Discretionary Sector Index (the Index). The Index is a subset of the S&P Global 1200 Index, and measures the performance of companies that the Index provider deems to be part of the consumer discretionary sector of the economy. As of Mar 31 2015, the Fund's total assets were $391,321,558 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $390,147,465. We show 148 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our RXI shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute RXI market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing RXI market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing RXI's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of RXI versus a peer is one thing; comparing
RXI market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like RXI can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching RXI by allowing them to research the RXI market cap history. |
